I can't get my printer to work.  I changed cartridges.  I deleted old drivers from my Mac, but I can't find any new drivers on the HP website that match my Mac's operating system.  Help!

Hi @xmartin,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

For older printers like the HP LaserJet P1606dn, HP often stops creating dedicated software for newer Mac operating systems.

Since there are no latest drivers for your HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn printer, I suggest you install the printer driver using Apple Software Update.

 

Try these steps.

 

Click the Apple menu, then click System Preferences.

Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.

 

  1.  Example of the Printers & Scanners window

Check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. Do one of the following steps, depending on if the printer is listed or not.

 

If your printer is listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication and to make sure the correct driver is used. Click the name of your printer, then click the minus sign to delete the printer. Once the printer is removed, click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step.

 

If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step.

Click the Use or Print Using menu, then select the name of your printer 

Click Add to add the printer to the list.

 

If you are prompted to install software, click Download and Install to complete the installation.

Close the System Preferences window.

Restart your printer and device and try printing.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

I hope this helps

 

Take care and have an amazing day ahead! 🚀

 

Best regards,
